Wise Proverbs.

The richest ruleth over the poor, and
the borrower is servant to the lender.
He that oppresseth the poor TO inc ease
his richest shall come to want.
Rob not the poor because he is poor,
neither oppress the afflicted in the gate,
for the Lord will plead their cause and
spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
He that by usury and unjust ga'Ds in.
creaseth his substance, he shall gather it
for him that viii pity the poor.

A CHILD's EPITATH "A correspond

The rosebud we cherished
Has withered and perished,
Though nourished by fountains Of

And gone TO the Giver,
To boom in the garden above.

A REMARKABLE SHOWING.

The first annual meeting of the society
held very recently at the hall Of the
Young Ladies' Christian association,
East Fifteenth street, developed certain
remarkable facts in connection with the
organization. Its membership of thou
sands now extends into thirty-three states,
Canada, South America, England and
New Zealand. Between COCO and 1900
members wear the cross and ribbon; some
members possess it, but object to wearing
it. The society is not sectarian; Protest
ants, Catholics, Hebrews alikc are sisters,
and there are daughters Of all ages, from
sweet sixteen to seventy-six or eighty.
The social status is alike promiscuous, as
the high bred, aristoeratic, accomplished
woman Of conventional life and tic POOR
shop girl are alike sisters" The very
central point of the organization is q
sisterhood for the performance of kindly
deeds, however small or humble, upon all
given opportunities.
An illustration of the growing influ-
ence OF the society was made in the rela-
ton of the fact that all our field daisies,
which now cover our whole country, come
from the accidental dropping Of handful
of seed Of the Marguerite by q French
man some seventy years ago. None Of
. the poorer members of the sistcrhood were
present, as the midday assenblagc pre-
vented their attendance, but tkcy we're
duly and fittingly remembered. Tcle-
grams of congratulations from very dis
tant members were. read, some of them
from invalid membens, who are also Of the
society known as Shut Ins, numbering
over 20, ,OO0.. Such messages were indeed
very pathetic. A '"Ten'' Of colored MEM
bers was present. Miss Leigh, of the
American and English missions in Paris,
was present and ayowed her intention Of
forming q branch society when she re-
turns TO France Considerable amuse-
ment was occasioned by the reading Of a
report from the Hold the Ton.lc Ten, =

Entertained Last Evening.
He Makes a Vigorous and Logical

The Portland Club gave its regular
monthly supper at the clubhouse last even
ing. The weather was most unpropitious,
the rain coming down in torrents at the hour
fixed for the entertainment, and had the
effect no doubt of interfering with the at
tendance Of many members who had hoped
to be present. The heavy gale kept sew
eral of the distinguished gentlemen at home
who had accepted invitations early in the
week. But, while the absence of these
guests was much regretted by the club, the
members who were present enjoyed all the
more meeting the Hon. A. w. Beard, State
Treasurer of Massachusetts, and listening
to the sound Republican doctrine so aptly
and eloquently set forth in the speech with
which they were favored by him at the end
Of the supper.
The handsome, brilliantly lighted parlors
Of the club seemed all the brighter and more
attractive last evening in contrast with the
dull, wet weather without. Flowers, with
their admirably blended coloring, and deli
cate perfume, in varied designs, furnished
by w. E. Morton & Co., the florists, adorned
all the apartments. The tables were set
lengthwise of the two long drawing-rooms
and were bright with richly cut glass, hand
some crockery. and silyer-ware and snowy
napery. At the Congress street end table
was placed at right angles to the others at
which sat Hon A. w. Beard, the distin-
suished guest of the evening, at the right of
